The Global Mobility Challenges Slowing Your Campus

Study Abroad Bottlenecks

298,000+ U.S. students studying abroad annually, each needing country-specific visas with different timelines, documentation, and consular requirements. Spain, Japan, and South Korea add extra complexity.

Faculty & Researcher Delays

Faculty sabbaticals, visiting positions, and research collaborations stall when visa processing takes 4–6 months. Premium processing adds $2,800+ per case with no guarantee of speed.

Conference Travel Chaos

Academics attending international conferences need visas arranged 3–4 months ahead. Last-minute acceptances and invitation letters create scrambles that derail research presentations.

Understaffed International Offices

Only 48% of universities have more than 2–5 staff managing all international affairs. Your team handles study abroad, faculty travel, and compliance simultaneously — with growing complexity.

Multi-Country Complexity

Each destination has different visa categories, financial requirements, processing windows, and consular procedures. Managing 15+ countries per semester overwhelms even experienced offices.

International Student Processing

F-1 visa issuance down 22% in 2025. SEVIS compliance, I-20 management, and OPT/CPT tracking add layers of complexity — and one mistake risks your SEVP certification.
